Vintage KROQ

Vintage KROQ Tapes-Volume#38 (from 1992)
----------------------------------------
Here's another tape of KROQ from '92 or '93.
There's about 10 minutes of WDRE in there...sorry.
I liked KROQ back then for all the remixes they played. Being from Long Island, I found WLIR/WDRE was not very generous when it came to alternate versions...so you'll notice that much of this tape consists of alternate versions and remixes. I found them refreshing when I had the chance to hear KROQ while visiting the left coast.

Here's Tape#38:

And here's another....
Vintage KROQ Tapes-Volume#39 (from 1993)
----------------------------------------
More KROQ from '93.
I made a lot of business trips to LA in that year...
It was refreshing to hear as compared to
WDRE on the East coast.

Sorry...I only have a small snapshot in time of KROQ & MARS-FM..circ 1992,'93. That's when I traveled there; never lived there.

[lunatic84]

Thanks Roqqer, that was very cool. I only have a vague memory of DJ "Wild Bill." They (KROQ) must have hired him from a temp agency 'cause I don't think he lasted very much on the station. However, I really loved hearing the Ice House song "Taking the Town." I hadn't heard that one in a couple of decades. By the way, do you have any recordings that have the song "See You On The Other Side" by Brian Briggs?

[dogeatdog]

Thanks Roqqer. These KROQ shows are great. I would like to know if you have any more tapes from 82-83?

Hey, I posted several old KROQ cassettes from 78-90. Bunch of Rodney shows and one of Frazier Smith in fine form. I think you'll find that Brian Briggs song on the KROQ May 1981 cassette. There is a 4 Hour+ Rodney show celebrating his 4th year anniversary on the Roq. Its got alot of classic stuff.

[:0] Thanks Riff, truly classic KROQ. Frazier is indeed in fine form.
As for Rodney (you're going to scream) but I never got into him too much - he's voice was kinda drab.
I actually had a midnight snack with him (and with about 5 other girls I was with) at some restaurant in Pasadena or Hollywood - I can't remember, after a Duran Duran Video Dance Party! I was a kid so I didn't know at the time that the DJs at KROQ were practically broke 'cause they didn't get paid much if any. But at the time I was a bit dumbfounded that he didn't pay for any of the girls' order. I didn't want him to pay my bill but I was thinking to myself - here's a guy who's famous but is God Damn Cheap!
I guess he's OK. Anyway, thanks for the flashbacks!

[Riff]

Hey Lunatic,
Glad you enjoyed the flashbacks. Do me favor and leave your Rodney story as a comment on my blog and I'll post it under one of the cassettes. I was hoping to get stories like that. I always listened to Rodney's shows because of the music he chose to play and he usually had guests stopping in. I liked the local call in questions from the audience like when Blondie was in the studio and some guy calls in and asks Debbie Harry for a pair of her panties and everybody in the studio busts up. I was hoping to get a comment from someone saying hey I was that guy who asked her that. But I think the main thing about Rodney is how he helped launch a lot of peoples careers for probably nothing. You could have said lets start a band and he would have played your record. Thats what happened with the Go-Gos.
Have Fun,
Riff

Hey Motnow,
Got your files and THANKS! Added them to my collection. Glad to see I wasn't the only one to record and hang onto those tapes. I hope there are others that read this and share their classic stuff.
